The Wedded Shore

The Wedded Shores
By: Ryan McKern ©

Culpable leaden waltz, of rain on oak and tides of affliction I isolate, bellow in a horde, a phantasm, a lucid dementia of dreams. In her eyes amidst the cadaverous glee, her lips sang gently of gallows humor,  her soul of fall leaves, burnt , duplicitous, evergreen.

I place the ring upon thou shoulder, this note is forewarned and blood ink shall shutter, a flickering seance of October, the tide a augmentation,

We stand on the dock bound by only red thread, staring as if we broke the hour glass. Short of breath, I detest, the color of the lake suffocates at last.

binds forever once more.

Such was the tale of the wedded shores.
